This tender-kernel yellow popcorn is grown at Salamander Springs Farm near Berea, KY, without pesticides or packaged fertilizers of any kind. The popcorn is hand harvested, cleaned and shelled starting in mid-September.
Salamander Springs Farm is un-mechanized and is farmed according to permaculture principles. Our soil is not tilled into powdery dust, instead is treated with TLC, organic compost, cover crops and mulch. It is teaming with life and organic nutrients which feed our crops--instead of petroleum-dependent, extracted fertilizers.
Popcorn is best stored in the freezer to ensure moisture level remains below 15% for best popping. Refrigerator is okay for shorter term use. Popcorn is a delicious and nutritious snack...fast food at its best! Just cover the bottom of a heavy kettle with 1/8" oil, put on medium-high heat and add enough popcorn to cover the bottom about 1/4" deep. Add a few cloves of peeled garlic if you like! Jiggle the kettle with the lid slightly ajar until the corn almost stops popping. Turn off the heat, dump in a bowl and sprinkle with salt, nutritional yeast and other seasonings. You can also melt butter to drizzle on top.
Salamander Springs Farm grain & bean fields, market gardens, orchard, nut trees and pasture are being developed and managed based on permaculture principles.
